General Motors CEO Mary Barra highlighted a societal issue in the US undervaluing skilled trades, urging high school students to consider careers like auto technician and electrician. She emphasized these jobs are potentially more resistant to AI disruption and can offer salaries of $80,000 to $90,000 or more. Barra noted a growing demand for electricians due to AI infrastructure needs and pointed out the US faces a shortage of skilled trades workers, with estimates of a 2.1 million deficit by 2030. GM is investing nearly $200 million in training and facilities to support these technical roles, reflecting a broader call from industry leaders to address the skilled labor gap amid technological changes.
